My dad does not have a large boat, but he has one that seats three. He likes to go fishing, and he loves to take the boat out with him for a weekend away at the lake. On occasion my husband will go with him, and I get the chance to relax at home by myself. My dad has always said that fishing was more relaxing than anything, so I guess we are all good to go after weekends like that. He has had quite a few boats actually, and he has always had fun coming up with boat names.

If you are the superstitious type, you may want to find words that mean good luck or safety when thinking up boat names. You can use a word from a different language if you want to. Though it’s not as permanent as getting a tattoo, you certainly don’t want to name the boat the wrong thing and then have to rename and repaint it all the time. Give yourself a little time to think up great boat names, and then choose the one that fits best with your personality.
